INTERVIEW NOTES

What NOT to Say in a Job Interview

Here are some of the don’ts about appearing for an interview:

1. Private information

One of the biggest mistakes that people commit in an interview is giving out private information when it is not needed, or even when it is simply not asked.

2. Your weaknesses

Do not confess to any weaknesses that may put you in a bad light. If it were so bad, the interviewer would have already noticed it and not called you for an interview.  

3. Past problems

Another major problem is created when people speak about the problems that they encountered while they were in their previous jobs.  Also, do not try to tell them about any personal likes or dislikes that you may have.  Make sure that you do not talk to them about your past disappointments, or anything negative that you have to tell about your previous organization you worked with.

4. The salary 

Never discuss the salary unless and until you are asked about it. Salary negotiations are always carried out after receiving a job offer.

Therefore, saying the wrong things during the interview might cost you the job, while saying the right things might get you the job.

Additionally,

You might be thinking of some tricky questions asked during your job interview and how to handle these questions. 

Ask experienced people who can suggest great answers to tough interview questions –

What to say in an interview: 

When asked about your weakness (or when asked about weaknesses)?

About yourself (or when they ask you to tell about yourself)?

What to say in an interview if you were fired?

What to Bring to an Interview:

When it comes to getting ready for the interview, make sure that you have the following at hand:

1. Folders for holding all documents, from education to job profile.  

2. You should also carry at least two pens.

3. Make sure that you have at least two copies of your resume.

4. If you are using any references, make sure that you have their contact details with you. Try to create a document that simplifies the connection between the company and your references.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies.
